Thanks for the info. I haven't set it up yet since we've only had a few non windy days and I'm still busy setting up the inside plus doing other "fun" things here in RGV. Park is winding down so activities are slowing down for the season.
One of the ways of using the Ozark would be as a stand alone next to the R-Pod. Do you set it up outside the door ala R-Dome?  I read somewhere that an inventive individual modified the Ozark and attached it kinda like an R-Dome. Since I have never seen a Dome set up, I have no idea how to do that. I'm sure I will eventually come across someone in my travels who has done that and could copy it.
Safe travels

We use the Ozark Trails screen tent you mentioned. It has done great. Just untie the tent to pole at each corner during extreme winds. Tent may lay down but comes back up easily enough. Retye your corners after storms pass. We have used this tent 2 years and plan to pick up another one to have for back up or when this one goes belly up.]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2018 22:58:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11210&PID=106025#106025 Screenhouse : Thanks for the reply's you... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11210&PID=105244#105244 Author: voy108

Thanks for the reply's you guys. Now I know I'm on the right track. Smile I bought the Walmart one(Ozark Trail) and will give it a try this summer. I think it has flaps in front and rear so can set it outside the door but will set it up before I leave on a nice calm day if there is such a thing in the Rio Grand Valley. Seems like wind pretty much every day. Once I get it up, then I can test it in the wind. Input online was good and I noticed some folks here have used the Ozark shelter in the past. If it dies an early death, I can always upgrade to one of the others you have suggested and still only be into it for a realistic amount. 
Happy trails
Hope we meet on the road.

We have a Coleman 13x15 Instant Setup screen room. The good thing about this one is that the poles are pre-attached, and it only takes a couple of minutes to put it up. We've had ours for about four years now - very durable. Back then it was only $90.]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2018 17:31:21 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11210&PID=105243#105243 Screenhouse : i use both an awning i built for... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11210&PID=105226#105226 Author: sean p

i use both an awning i built for the pod and a screenhouse. i would suggest proubly alittle better one than the 50$ one at walmart. the 90$ones at lowes or homedopot are better mde than the walmart ones. will last thru stronger winds that kick up. good luck]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2018 06:04:59 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11210&PID=105226#105226 Screenhouse : You may be able to modify to trailer... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11210&PID=105205#105205 Author: mcarter

Go for it!  $50 is much better than 5x or more that that amount for basically the same thing.  The only thing you may not like is the gap between the Pod and the screen house to allow for the Pod door to open.  You may get a raindrop or two on you if it's pouring.  

Be sure to get some good hold down stakes for wind.

Hey all:
Has anyone used a separate screenhouse rather than an R-dome while set up in a park. I'm looking at the Ozark 13x9 available at Walmart for $50 rather than 849 for the
R-Dome. Even on sale it's 499.
Thanks
